ALL-TIME FAVORITE POST FROM 20120 RE-BLOGGED:
Bayanihan is one of the proud values of Filipinos. In a small community/barrio, townsmen help out each other in times of need. I am still a Filipino apart from my fascination with anything foreign. I love traveling and i have left my country numerous times this year. I bought a really really good book 1001 Reasons to Stay in the Philippines by Isagani R. Cruz and Lydia B. Echauz. And i think my fellow Filipinos should buy it too whether you're thinking of migrating to another country or if you're simply nationalistic! It's a good read and it helped me decide if i should leave soon or stay in the Philippines

Dito ko natututuhan at nadadama ang kulturang bayan
Dito ang bukal ng sining na aking inihahayag
Dito rin sana ako abutan pagpikit ng araw."
